PRODUCTION DATA.
The internal soft start circuitry controls the output voltage slope during startup. This avoids excessive inrush current and ensures a controlled output voltage rise time. It also prevents unwanted voltage drops from high-impedance power sources or batteries. When EN is set to start device operation, the device starts switching after a delay of about 50 µs and VOUT rises with a slope controlled by an external capacitor connected to the SS/TR pin. See Figure 32 and Figure 33 for typical startup operation.
Using a very small capacitor (or leaving SS/TR pin un-connected) provides fastest startup behavior. There is no theoretical limit for the longest startup time. The TLV62130 can start into a pre-biased output. During monotonic pre-biased startup, the low-side MOSFET is not allowed to turn on until the device's internal ramp sets an output voltage above the pre-bias voltage. As long as the output is below about 0.5 V, a reduced current limit of typically 1.6 A is set internally. If the device is set to shutdown (EN=GND), undervoltage lockout or thermal shutdown, an internal resistor pulls the SS/TR pin down to ensure a proper low level. Returning from those states causes a new startup sequence as set by the SS/TR connection.
A voltage supplied to SS/TR can be used for tracking a master voltage. The output voltage will follow this voltage in both directions up and down (see Application and Implementation).
